  • If Aristotle and Confucius were able to come together to talk about globalization today, could they ultimately resolve some of its most pressing challenges? This dialogue imagines the two philosophers debating and determining the ways models of democracy and governance need to evolve.
    Ban Ki-moon, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations; Chair, Ban Ki-moon Foundation for a Better Future
    Jeffrey Sachs, Director, Center for Sustainable Development, Columbia University
    Moderated by Roger Cohen, Paris Bureau Chief, The New York Times and Host of the Athens Democracy Forum

      In that group though, there won’t be one single Jeff Sachs.
      He’s not striving, he’s not on the way to become somebody else, who he admires.
      He sees the world lacks respect, so he gifts the world with respect.
      He sees the world lacking the honesty, so he finds the guts to be honest.

      Bang Ki Moon is unfit to talk about Confucionism because he does not practised Confucionism. His pro-West stand totally goes against Confucion beliefs on Fair-play and the possesion of having virtue.
      Maybe because he is Korean he cannot understand Mandarin Classics in which Confucionism Philosophy is written.
      The Organisers are so Anti-China that they cannot bring in a Chinese scholar to represent Confucious!
      This shows how "objective" they are about solving World issues! It was all a show to protray a pro-Western ideology and even then they failed....because Jeffery Sachs was the only person, the true leader, there who was determined to send a true message to the World.

    Sachs exceeds the ultimate.
    Sachs understands and sees the truths and virtues required to achieve the balance and harmony in the environment and the world.
    Sachs is not controlled and/or managed by the oligarchs, billionaires and elites.
    Sachs has more freedom to express the truths and virtues which will improve the world because he is not being influenced and funded by the political and financial leaders.
    Moon and the narrator, on the other hand, are definitely pawns and/or puppets who are being influenced, funded, manipulated and controlled by the super powerful political and wealthy financial leaders.
    Moon and the narrator obviously decided many years ago to be owned and controlled by the oligarchs, billionaires and elites.
    Sachs, on the other hand, has decided to be the uncommon man, the man of virtues and the larger man who transcends the political and material goals of men.
    Sachs believes in a civilization and a world that supports the common good and public good for all mankind.
    Sachs is a follower of God and the others are followers of the Adversary.
    But, remember that although mankind is sinful, everyone can still achieve salvation and go to Heaven.
    Remember that Jesus, our Savior died for our sins,
    Remember that Buddha taught that He will help you to attain nirvana, bliss and enlightenment.
    Buddha stated that He will continue to help you to attain nirvana, bliss and enlightenment.
    Both Jesus and Buddha taught compassion, love, kindness, and forgiveness.
    Both Jesus and Buddha taught balance and harmony in the environment for the common good and public good.

    Mr. Ban Ki Moon is a politician, absolutely not Confucius! His way of thinking IS the problem of today. I am actually rather surprised how shallow and close minded his thinking is considering the position he held. Dr. Sacks has true understanding of the spirit of Aristocracy and Confucius. I wonder how many people today want to listen to him. The virtues of moderation and wisdom have been forgotten. Instead we choose extremes and so called “bravery”. This tendency does NOT encourage us to live together but to die together!

      B Ki Moon was the secretary of the UN when US led Nato was aggressively invaded Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya. And the ongoing genocide in Palestine. He's never condemned any of these crimes against humanity.
      This talk is a theoretical.
      Prof. Jeffrey Sachs is trying to be an intellectual and polite.
      The mediator is acting like a child.

      Stop dreaming, Mo. American could never have a person of Sachs’ calibre as President. Even if he was able to negotiate the toxicity of the system to get through suspect primaries and was miraculously elected President by a thoughtful and mature electorate (which does not exist), he would be destroyed by the oligarchs and sycophantic media within hours of being inaugurated. Failing that, he would butt up against a sea of indifferent puke they call congress.
      A case in point - Obama. Comes in on a white horse, wearing shiny armour. He is like manna from heaven, and definitely promises to solve all the world riddles quickly and efficiently. The regard for this person is so high, they anoint him with a Nobel prize for peace, in anticipation of future saintly deeds. What actually happens is history. He turns out to be just another figurehead, falling in line with the established norms. He lets down his race, his country and the rest of the world. Sure, he shoots baskets and eats apple pie, but he also becomes expert in shooting death-dealing drones, and eating up other people’s security and economies.
      No, Jeffrey Sachs still has his fidelity and his integrity. It is something the he can never be stripped of, no matter how hard the establishment swill tries.

And his vulgar idiocy was totally exposed when he desperately inserted 'American democracy and Chinese surveillance state' to discredit China's track record maintaining peace around the world. Sadly, the moderator will only get his minimum wage for the job, not and extra cent from his masters for failing to demonize Russia and China.
    In Secretary Ban's case, sadly he today is simply a mouthpiece in echoing the superficial western narrative by blaming Russia. A 25-year old college graduate from the mid west can do similarly.

    I used to think American (NATO) foreign policy was evil, (still do), but I always believed American foreign policy didn't reflect true American values. I'm wrestling with that and am currently undecided but getting close to changing my mind.
    In 1994 Tonya Harding (American figure skater) destroyed (broke her knee) Nancy Kerrigan because she couldn't win fairly. Was that an anomaly or is that how most Americans compete?
    That's exactly what America is doing with Russia, Europe, China, and virtually every small country they deal with. If America can't compete, it destroys.
    Everybody knows it and they silently support it. Remember when Pompeo bragged at a Texas A&M university that the CIA "we lie, we steal, we cheat,' ? Well that's not really news but what I found scary was how the entire audience laughed and applauded.
    Americans seem to support cheating and lying and destroying anyone who might succeed.
    Americans stopped their government in the Vietnam war. Why have Americans not stopped their government from the continuous regime change, invasions, sanctions, and proxy wars that kill and impoverish people every day?
    So either America is not a democracy or the majority of Americans are as evil as the CIA and their foreign policy.

    The word country in Chinese is 國家 where 家 represents home or family. For Confucius, there would not be a country without a home or family. For a country to succeed, the homes or families must succeed first.

    B K Moon is a small thinker. Ladies and gentlemen, he represents the officials of the world. And that is why we are in a bad shape.

      You are kind to use the word "thinker"; it may be more correct to say he is a small "mind".

    No doubts, Pr. Sachs has the most wise clear intelligent thought. The westerners, especially thier leaders should listen to his speach. He should be awarded Nobel Peace Prize

    It takes a special quality to utter the truth that many don't know and many more don't want to hear, even getting hostile when they hear it, and that's exactly what Sachs is doing here. He had to set the record straight about the US's and NATO's broken promises to Russia. But at the same time, he showed courtesy to the moderator who sadly had to interrupt in deference to his sponsor, the NYT. It's evidently clear to me who among the three here has learned and applied what he learned really well. Great respect for Prof Sachs.

    Ban Ki-moon is definitely not Confucius. What a disgrace to call him so. Our old man might jump out of his tomb. The host is so biased, it's not funny. This series doesn't deserve much respect, if Jeff wasn't there.
